RCPOA Online Store debuts, featuring secure online credit card transactions

Until now, when considering joining the RCPOA or renewing membership, or RSVPing for an RCPOA event, one was confronted with the need to acquire and fill out a paper form, dig up the ol’ checkbook, write a check, find an envelope and a stamp, write the addresses on the envelope and take it to the mailbox.  Just enough inconvenience to make procrastination an appealing decision.

To remove the aforementioned obstacles the RCPOA introduces the RCPOA Online Store.  Residents can quickly and easily join or renew their membership or RSVP for an RCPOA event online, paying securely by credit card (or with a PayPal account).

Even if you prefer to mail a check, we encourage you to use the RCPOA Online Store to fill out the form online and then print the invoice to mail with your check.  This helps us avoid misspelled names and errors in addresses, phone numbers, etc., that often result from reading handwritten information.

Interest Groups

Spearheaded by the RCPOA, several “Interest Groups” have recently been formed by neighborhood residents.  Click here to learn more about Interest Groups.

Join your neighbors

If you live within or near the boundaries of the Royal Canyon Property Owners Association (see map), there are many reasons why you should be a member of the RCPOA.  Our association has been serving property owners in the area surrounding Royal Boulevard and Greenbriar Road since 1961.

Our mission is to keep our neighborhood safe, hold events of interest and maintain property values.  Membership dues support communication among neighbors with our newsletter The Sentinel and keeping this web site up-to-date.

Membership is $20.00 annually per household and is due in January 2012 to support our activities throughout the year.  Click here to learn more about RCPOA membership.

A recap of recent RCPOA events

Annual Member Business Meeting (occurred Saturday, February 4, 2012)

The featured guest speaker at this year’s Annual Member Business Meeting was Glendale Chief of Police Ron DePompa.  Here are some highlights of Chief DePompa presentation:

• A review of crime statistics for the last two years, demonstrating an overall reduction in crime despite the Glendale Police Department having significantly fewer officers per capita than nearby cities.
• An explanation of the 2009 implementation of an Area Command service delivery model, effecting a shift toward “Community Based Policing” with increased responsibility and accountability among area commanders and their officers and staff.
• A discussion of the crime prevention challenges expected as a result of California's new policy of “realignment” (Assembly Bill 109) under which tens of thousands of prisoners are being released by the state.
• Examples of how some nearby neighborhoods have utilized social media services, such as Twitter and FaceBook, to create virtual neighborhood watches.
